Chapter 566: Hundred Year Old Ginseng

The old village chief felt as if he had been caught, and his face was burning. “Let’s make some and let Chun Hua stir-fry some for a taste.”
Chun Hua didn’t use any seasonings. She just poured soybean oil into the pot, added some bean sprouts, and stir-fried them with some salt.
The old village chief and his wife drank a big bowl of corn porridge with bean sprouts.
“Aiya, this bean sprout is called bean sprout, right? It’s really good stuff. It’s delicious, much more delicious than beans!”
“It’s still early. Why don’t the village chief take some to the town to sell?”
MO Ruyue gave a suggestion. The old village chief hurriedly nodded. He packed up and was about to head to town with the wooden box when he was stopped by MO Ruyue.
“If I meet a smart person, I might be able to find out where these bean sprouts came from.”
“Hey! Look at my blockhead!”
The old village chief and his wife excitedly carried a small basket of bean sprouts to the town. MO Ruyue and the others tidied up and left a silver ingot in the house. However, before they could leave the village, they were stopped by a few soldiers.
A few soldiers saw MO Ruyue kneeling in front of her and raised her fists above her head. “Princess Ming Yue, please return to the camp to save General
Xue…”
Before the soldiers could finish their words, MO Ruyue rode her horse towards the camp.
“The guard who blocked the arrow…”
MO Ruyue rode her horse back to the camp and rushed towards Gu Ying’s Battalion Commander.
MO Ruyue panicked when she didn’t see Gu Ying. She threw the battalion commander out and grabbed a soldier “Where’s Gu Ying?”
“Princess Ming Yue, General Xue is there.”
MO Ruyue ran towards the tent that the soldier had pointed out. As soon as she entered, she found Gu Ying standing in front of a hospital bed. She ignored the looks that the others were giving her and sized Gu Ying up. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was fine.
“We’ll talk about this later. Take a look at him first, the arrow is poisoned.”
MO Ruyue turned to look at the soldier lying on the bed. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he looked. However, she could not care less about whether he was familiar or not. Chun Hua still had good eyesight and had already carried MO Ruyue’s medicine box into the room.
The man was unconscious at the moment, and there was a poisonous arrow in his chest. The other military doctors were helpless about this. They did not dare to pull out the arrow easily, afraid that if they pulled it out, the man would die.
“Scissors.”
“Disinfect cotton.”
“Fine cotton cloth.”
Two hours later, MO Ruyue had treated the guard’s arrow wound.
MO Ruyue’s eyes widened when she saw the soldier’s appearance, as she assumed that Chun Hua had wiped away the blood stains and dirt on his face.
“Why is he here?”
Gu Ying recognized it as well.
“He blocked the arrow for me. Otherwise, I would be the one lying here right now.”
“Can you tell me what happened?”
MO Ruyue had long known that MO Yu was the Emperors secret guard. His appearance in the military camp was definitely not a coincidence.
Gu Ying did not understand why MO Yu was in the military camp either. He also knew that MO Yu was Ji Hong’s secret guard.
It was impossible for a person with the identity of a secret guard to leave the Emperor’s palace and appear at the border. Then he must have come here for a purpose, but he did not know what his purpose was.
MO Ruyue and Gu Ying stood guard by the unconscious MO Yu’s bed. The two of them only whispered to each other after the others had left.
Neither of them wanted to reveal MO Yu’s identity as the Emperor’s secret guard to more people, not even the Great General.
What if MO Yu had some secret to carry out a mission and was exposed by them? That would be a bad thing.
Furthermore, MO Yu had been in trouble to save Gu Ying and Sheng. They could not let a fourth person, other than the two of them and MO Yu himself) know MO Yu’s true identity.
MO Ruyue was glad that she had arrived fast enough and had a powerful
antidote pill with her. Otherwise, MO Yu might not have been able to survive.
MO Ruyue felt that it was better to prepare more antidote pills.
Wei Yi and Wei Er were guarding the entrance of the tent. MO Ruyue and Gu Ying could talk to each other inside. If anyone came, Wei Yi and Wei Er would warn them.
MO Ruyue didn’t try to play dumb with Gu Ying and asked him directly.
“How long are you going to fight this battle?”
This war was going on for too long. It was almost ten months. If it continued, would the national treasury be able to hold on?
Looking at the injured soldiers, he felt really bad.
She also knew that it was not easy to fight a war. The casualties on both sides were about the same, which showed that the strength of both sides was about the same.
“The reason why we fought for so long was because the enemy might have a powerful strategist.”
“Every time we attacked and defended, the enemy always seemed to know. In the end, they would always be able to fight evenly with us, and sometimes even have the upper hand.”
MO Ruyue knew that there was something wrong with this. How could the other party know about the operation here every time? No matter how godly a person was, it was impossible for him to be so godly.
Moreover, if he was really that godly, the enemy should have won the battle long ago. They wouldn’t have dragged on with Xi Liang for nine months.
“Then have you ever thought that there are enemy spies in your camp?
Gu Ying frowned.
“Of course I have.”
“But I’ve checked several times. I’ve checked almost everyone, but I can’t find the person with the problem.”
“However, I recently felt that there was something wrong with one person. I was about to tell the general about it when the enemy attacked again. It was obvious that they knew something was planned in advance.”
“If it wasn’t for MO Yu blocking the arrow for me, the arrow would have gone straight for my heart.”
MO Ruyue knew that if the poison arrow really pierced Gu Ying’s heart, he would not be able to survive.
Gu Ying connected the previous events. This time, the flaw was even more obvious. He would not believe that there was no spy.
“Who is it? Since he was already suspicious, you should quickly capture that person and control him. What was there to wait for?”
According to MO Ruyue’s method, no matter if there was a problem, as long as it was a suspect, even if it wasn’t a big deal, they would still have to capture that person and lock him up for strict interrogation.
“I’ll report to the Great General now. I’ll leave this to you.”
Gu Ying stood up and went to find the general. The sooner this matter was resolved, the better.
After Gu Ying left, Chun Hua, Wei Yi, and Wei Er were summoned by MO
Ruyue.
MO Ruyue looked at MO Yu’s condition and estimated that he would wake up in half a day at most.
“Chun Hua, take the two ginsengs I dug up from the mountain and divide the hundred-year-old one into three portions to make some health porridge.”
MO Yu had suffered a great crime this time. He had to replenish his vitality well. Even so, he would need more than half a year to recover the vitality he had lost.
She did not feel the slightest bit for the hundred-year-old ginseng she had taken out. Just as Gu Ying had said, if it was not for MO Yu, he would have been the one who had fallen.
Chun Hua went to cook the porridge while MO Ruyue left the place to Wei Yi and Wei Er. She asked them to take turns to watch over MO Yu. If they found anything wrong with MO Yu, they would immediately go to Gu Yings tent to call her.
He had been riding a horse from the Snow World Village, and he had been focusing on performing surgeries on MO Yu. He was a little tired now.
The tent that the general had set up for her was the tent that MO Yu was lying in, so she went back to Gu Yings tent.
When MO Ruyue came out from the next room, she found that there were people making a ruckus in the Great General’s tent. It was somewhat chaotic.
“Gu Ying, you’re slandering me. You have to be honest!”
“Why did you lock me up for no reason? If you lock me up, the Great General will have no strategist. Who can be competent? If anything happens, you will bear the responsibility yourself!”
It was the military advisor who was roaring..
